Short-Wave Club Notes

From the Secretary's Pen me ee HE next meeting of the Wellington branch will be held in Nimmo'’s Concert Halli on Thursday, March 31: . All interested in radio are invited to attend. It is probable that experiments -will: shortly be undertaken between the’ ama-'. teurg and short-wave listeners with ultra~short: -wayes. Mr. A. F. Glendhill, NZ14C-ZL3FZ, has volunteered to snd out slow Morse in Christchurch for the benefit of learners. ©The schedule is between 1 and 2 p.m, on Sundays. and the station will operate at the top of the 80 metre band. A number of useful suggestions are to hand from members. One is that of a "Heard all Continents Club" with appropriate certificate. Another is a "Black List.’ The latter, I think, would ‘be a welcome idea to many as it would show just who collects unused postage stamps for a hobby. There is still room for the experimenter, not in designing freak circuits, because we already have all kinds of circuits designed by men who know their business, but in designing slow moving. dials, etc. There is an industry. also, which might be developed, and that is in batteries. At present, wet batteries are not too plentiful, but, speaking to a dealer recently, I was informed that, if there was a demand,’ his: firm would cable for supplies. I am now enrolling members for our second year. Annual subscription is 5/-, boys 16 and under as juniors 2/6.. My address is A. B, McDonagh, Secretary N.Z. Short Wave Club, 4 Queen Street, Wellington,
